With Invsalign®, all you'll need to adjust to is your new smile
The Invisalign treatment can slot simply and easily into your daily routine, without any fuss or embarrassment. There are no metal wires or brackets, so no need to worry about mouth irritations, as the aligners are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing as normal. If it weren't for the remarkable way Invisalign transforms smiles, you'd hardly even notice you're having treatment. As the Invisalign aligners are transparent and difficult to detect when worn, they allow you to straighten your teeth without feeling self-conscious - and should you have an important meeting or event coming up that’s causing concern, you can always remove the aligners for that short space of time.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The secret's in your smile
It's true. No matter what you’ve believed in the past, a confident, radiant smile is within your reach. And if you think about it, improving your smile is an important investment, because you’re doing it for yourself.
How much does Invisalign cost?
We understand price is an important consideration. Unfortunately, there's no definitive answer to that question until you visit an Invisalign-certified dentist or orthodontist for your initial consultation.
As with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign is dependent on the complexity of your case and your course of treatment - but the cost is generally comparable to traditional braces. Treatment fees are set by the treating dentist or orthodontist and the average cost ranges from $6000 to $8500. But if your teeth only need minor corrections, prices could even start as low as $4000.

Health benefits
Smile healthy
It's easy to see that a straight, even smile of glossy pearly whites look great. But a cosmetically perfect smile often means it’s also a healthy smile. So put yourself in a healthy state of mind, and take a look at the additional benefits of a properly aligned smile.
Healthier gums
Signs of periodontal disease, such as swollen gums and redness, can surface due to teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced. Clinical studies have shown that when teeth are properly aligned, it helps the gums fit tighter around the teeth1, which can lead to better gum health. Since Invisalign's greatest advantage is its ability to effectively straighten teeth, your gum health may improve after Invisalign treatment2. And since you can brush and floss normally with Invisalign, unlike with traditional braces, you can more easily prevent tooth decay and related gum disease.
Better oral health
One of Invisalign's best qualities is that it uses no metal bands, brackets, or wires that may trap food and plaque like traditional braces. And since the removable nature of Invisalign allows you to maintain good oral hygiene, you may also reduce chances of plaque build-up, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Improved chewing and speech
When you leave incorrectly positioned teeth and jaws untreated, it can lead to speech difficulties and uncomfortable chewing issues. Invisalign treatment can improve both of these problems by providing better-aligned teeth and jaws.
Maintain comfort and tooth structure
Misaligned teeth and jaws can result in abnormal stress. This can cause painful trauma to supporting bone and jaw joints. These issues can also cause abnormal wear on your teeth, which can trigger continued problems in the future. Invisalign treatment can improve the alignment of your teeth and improve your bite.
You and your treatment
Your custom-made smile program
Once your dentist or orthodontist confirms that your issue can be corrected with the Invisalign system, he or she will write a detailed treatment plan that determines how each of your aligners will change throughout your program. When you begin treatment, you'll wear each set of custom-made aligners in approximately two-week increments. The aligners gently move your teeth into position, and at the end of each two-week period, you "graduate" to the next set of custom-made aligners.
Step by step to a great smile
As you progress through the series of aligners, which you only remove to eat, drink, brush and floss, of for special occasions, your teeth will begin moving, little by little. And you don't have to wait until you complete treatment to see your smile change—you may start seeing positive changes early in the process. You will have occasional checkups with your dental practitioner — as little as once every six weeks—in order to gauge your progress. And at the end of your treatment, you'll be showing off a smile you never thought you'd have before using Invisalign.
Your lifestyle. Your schedule.
So how long will it take to finish your treatment? For most adults, treatment time is just under one year. Of course, your total treatment time depends on your particular situation, so it's important to speak with your dental practitioner about how your situation and goals fit into an Invisalign treatment program.
You're in control of your treatment's success, the more you wear your aligners, the better. And you're on your way to the smile you've always dreamed of! You've taken the first step towards your new smile by logging onto our site and seeing the success stories of previous patients.
